We’ve revamped our Farmers Market Buffet Brunch, or as we like to call it “our weekend culinary carnival,” and made it even better for our guests.  Our brunch menu has many great new food choices as well as many of your favorites, including: our popular Build Your Own Yogurt Parfait bar, complete with a bevy of fresh toppings.

Looking for something better than the typical premade to go breakfast? Or an alternative to counter service where you can order something fresh & delicious to eat, a great cup of Joe, and grab a quick seat?

It is a great season to visit Founding Farmers Tysons. Our sunflowers are back and in-house through September.  We love welcoming guests to our Tysons restaurant with our bounty of sunflowers. Each year, we harvest these beauties with our friends and sustainable partners at Sweet Virginia, a non-profit working to educate children about the wonder of honey bees and their importance in pollinating and maintaining food diversity for every living creature on the planet.

What is Negroni Week?  In 2013, Imbibe Magazine and Campari launched Negroni Week as a celebration of the classic Italian Negroni cocktail and a way to raise money for charity. Since then, Negroni Week has grown from approximately 120 industry participants to almost 10,000 partners worldwide, and Founding Farmers is proud to participate in DC’s Negroni Week once again.  When is Negroni Week?

Last night, Co-Owner Dan Simons and our team were thrilled to accept the Maryland Green Registry’s Leadership Award for MoCo’s Founding Farmers from Maryland Secretary of the Environment, Ben Grumbles, and the Maryland Department of the Environment.
